Have owned two Glocks, a 22 and a 34. Both ran flawlessly. Neither was especially accurate. Was surprised how sloppy the barrel was on the 34 I owned.
Carry guns, at least for me, need thumb safeties. I could see a Glock as a house drawer gun. Pick it up only to either unload for a range trip, or to investigate bumping things in the night.
The Gen 5 G34's are interesting, supposedly a better trigger and accepts optical sights. So I might try one. Guess I could fit a new barrel if it doesn't shoot.

"Carry guns have thumb safeties."
That's pretty archaic thinking. Most recognized experts on the subject state the opposite, i.e., thumb safeties don't belong on carry guns.
But if that's your view, Glock will put one on your Glock.

I've had the opportunity to make Hickok45's acquaintance. I found him to be a down to earth type fellow, who, like many of us, has a genuine interest in firearms and their history. We had a nice conversation and if the opportunity had been available, I would have enjoyed spending some range time with him. Nice enough guy.

I know they make runs of them for police forces around the world who require them. Not sure Glock would do that for an individual purchasing just one or two pistols. At least I've never heard of such.

No doubt in my mind. But like lots of nice guys he likes to hear himself rattle. And this is evident in his videos. He comes across as likeable, fairly intelligent, and chatty. If it can be said in 10 words or less he has an uncanny ability to expound/expand on a dialogue to the point of inanity.
